The Hoyt uses the cable as a draw stop, from observing a friends bow I know that its possible to actually over draw, and deflect the cable, How do I overcome that problem, do I need to be bothered about it, opinions pls folks !
Have you taken the rubber stops out of your cams? If not then do it and you should feel a difference when you pull into the cams. If you have been over pulling you will probably find the rubber stops are damaged anyway. When we took Wendy's out they were all dented and nearly cut through.

What Marcus said about measuring nock travel is something you need to think about, we use an Apple Draw Length tool and a sheet of card and plot the nock travel.
